How Likely Your Password will be Hacked?

How Secure is Your Password?

What to do if your password is hacked?

Step 1:  Change your passwords.  This is important because hackers are looking for any point of entry into a larger network, and may gain access through a weak password.   On accounts or devices that contain sensitive information, make sure your password is strong, unique and not easily guessable.

Step 2:  Secure your Log-In process.  Two-Factor authentication is now available on most accounts.  This added measure helps to ensure you are the real person associated with the account you're trying to access.

Step 3:  Update your Software.  Make sure that all of the devices you use - even if infrequently, are funning the most up-to-date software.  Apple, Google Samsung, etc. routinely release updates meant to fix security flaws, oftentimes between the bigger, feature-packed updates that tend to get the most attention.

Step 4:  Contact your IT Company. Contact our help desk to speak with one of our Engineers (770-953-2500 or email support@csatlanta.com) for assistance and advice on password management and cyber security.
